Living with Parkinson’s Disease
Living with Parkinson’s disease (PD) presents unique challenges, but there are many ways to maintain and even improve your quality of life.
Striking a balance between taking a proactive approach and managing uncertainty about the future can feel overwhelming. Building your understanding of PD begins with accessing the right information at the right time to help you navigate your journey.
Managing a chronic and progressive condition like PD is no easy task, and each person’s experience is uniquely their own. Embracing a flexible mindset is key. Adaptation might mean making small adjustments to daily routines or finding new ways to approach familiar activities. By working closely with your care team and exploring options, you can continue to enjoy meaningful aspects of your life without giving them up entirely.
